Class of 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
For real though, imagine that every time you got good news you could be like "Sweet!" and then BAM! you did a backflip.
 
I don't know, I just feel like a backflip is more attainable
 
So you know how I went to go see Alice in Wonderland yesterday night instead of studying...yeah, maybe I should have stayed home and studied instead.

😴

I can do whatever - the only limiting factor is what it can take. it's KILLING right now, so I definitely think I need to tone down the running a bit. Which is sort of a shame since I didn't improve that much.

But seriously, after 2 weeks shouldn't my weight have done something? I haven't been eating that poorly.

*sigh*

if you don't want to run, try walking on a treadmill on a 10% incline for half an hour every day. it burns like 300-400 calories depending on how fast you walk, so it can definitely be a good workout with the benefit of less joint stress. i actually did this at ~3.6 mph when i was recovering from abdominal surgery to recover core strength since i have kind of weak ankles and i hate ellipticals. also, i will add that my boyfriend said my buns and thighs looked toned after about 1.5 months of this. take from that what you will.

AND my microbio prof just showed us this last week - if you are trying to lose weight, it also helps to make small adjustments to your daily habits to walk more (walk instead of take the bus, take the stairs rather than elevator, etc.). there was a column in the ny times about how people who work out for an hour a day but then sit around for the remaining 23 actually weigh more and are less healthy than people who make small motions throughout the day.

Not a bad idea. Maybe I will try doing an incline for awhile.

And poo for you leaving 🙁 We should still meet up at some point before I move.

I'd rather be able to dunk than do a backflip, though.

Or hit a home run in a major league park.

i'd take the dunk.

well depends, can I get up easy like D. Wade/LeBron/Any of the AND1 guys? Or do I have to struggle like Eric Gordon?

Hmm. Even if I got up like Jesus Shuttlesworth, I'd take the dunking. You can just use it so much more often in life than hitting a home run.

Thanks for the well wishes. It is interesting that nobody else in this thread freaked out as much as I am....I feel like such a hot mess compared to you composed people!

With AinW I think it helps if you don't try to compare it to say the cartoon version. Then again, I went with a big fanatic of the book and she ended up loving it. This was my first 3D and IMAX (non-educational) and I definitely enjoyed the experience...I think it was a good movie for that format.

back to refreshing the school thread. People are speculating that the emails will go out around 3 pm. eek!

Oh no, I'm most certainly right there with you T! Iowa decisions are speculated to go out tomorrow, at which point it will be extremely difficult for me to keep my crazy under wraps.

Emails or snail mail? If snail mail-that is MEAN!
Good luck though! Is it one of your top choices?
The worst part is that I KNOW I am getting the email(rejection) but part of me stubbornly hopes for good news.
arg!

E-mails for accepted, snail for waitlist and rejection. Which means that for a large part of the day I'm going to be assuming that the lack of e-mails certainly means I'm rejected, and I will be yelling at any of my friends who send me frivolous forwards/chain letters/lolcats.
 
And yeah, definitely one of my top choices! :luck::xf::luck::xf: for both of us!

oh man the reverse of Duke's set up. I think yours is a little nicer though since the good news comes immediately-ish.
yea it sucks that Duke is releasing the emails on monday...cause since I've been awake I got like 10 from everybody and their mother and had as many heart attacks.

This is true. But you know someone once told me that anything can be attained if you care more than others think is wise; risk more than others think is safe; dream more than others think is practical and expect more than others think is possible!!!!

wise woman...this anonymous person!
it reminds me of Randy Pausch...amazing guy!
actually...in his response to my thank you email, one of my Duke interviewers commented that he really liked that quote (it is also in my email signature).


and yes....I see what you did there!

It is an international holiday
although not all countries celebrate it on March 8th...so not sure how that works.
Russia celebrates it today though....I remember all of my boy classmates were forced to make cards for us (and their moms) for today when we were little lol

My mom works on gender stuff at the UN so they're doing something big and we always sort of celebrated it as kids. It's also coincidentally my brother's birthday, and when my mom threw a big women's day party when we were little kids, he thought it was a birthday party for him. "so many ladies at my party!!"
